- AWS and Mexico’s T1 launched an AI‑first tool that builds a fully operational e‑commerce site from a single text prompt in seconds using multiple generative models on Amazon Bedrock.
- Grupo Carso is the first tester, T1 reports 25,000 businesses using its services, 150 million transactions via T1 Pagos, 20 million shipments, over 8,000 stores on its platform, and Claroshop is being retired in favor of the lower‑fee T Shop.
- Retail strategies are splitting, with Amazon blocking OpenAI crawlers and suing Perplexity as Walmart enables purchases through ChatGPT, while McKinsey estimates agents could drive $3–5 trillion in global spending by 2030.
